When Li Xin was busy at the border pass, some not very good things happened in the capital.

Although Li Chun is a little stupid, he is the son of Pingnan Houfu after all, and he really represents Pingnan Houfu, but the Chengde Son of Heaven mercilessly stripped him of all his official honors, which made the civil and military officials in the capital receive some "signals", and for more than a month, no one has any contact with Pingnan Houfu.

Mrs. Yu also closed the door to thank the guests, and this waiting door with infinite scenery in the past seemed to be about to decline.

But on this day, Mrs. Yu, who had not gone out for a long time, took Li Chun, the son of the world, who had lost a whole circle, and several generals of the trilogy, left the house early in the morning and rushed to the south gate of the capital.

After a few people went all the way out of the south gate of the capital, they had to continue to walk south.

At this time, a few ordinary people had quietly followed behind these people.

Madame Yu and Li Chun are considered characters such as protons, and the imperial court will not restrict their actions on the surface, but they will definitely not be allowed to leave the capital, or leave the eyes of the imperial court.

Mrs. Yu took her son and walked all the way to the Shili Pavilion outside the South City Gate.

In this era when the traffic is very inconvenient, friends and relatives are not in a city, it is very difficult to meet, generally go relatives will live at least ten days and half a month, or even more than half a year and then go, when sending each other is naturally reluctant, generally will be sent out of the city ten miles.

This ten-mile pavilion is the place where we are ushered in.

Mrs. Yu took her son, who had lost a lot of weight, and sat quietly in the Shili Pavilion, looking over there.

Li Chun's eyes flickered a little.

After kidnapping Zhong Xiaoxiao last time, Mrs. Yu didn't beat him, didn't punish him, but never took care of this son again, which made him more uncomfortable than beating Li Chun.

After Li Chun sat down in Shili Pavilion, he cautiously glanced at his mother: "Auntie, who are we picking up here?" ”

Madame Yu's face was calm and she didn't speak to Li Chun.

To put it mildly, if Li Chun wasn't her biological son, it would be estimated that he would have been strangled to death by Mrs. Yu herself.

Seeing that his mother ignored him, Li Chun smiled bitterly, sat down again, and said to a forty or fifty-year-old man behind him: "Uncle Meng, who are we here to welcome?" ”

This big man is called Meng Jiao, he is the chief of the guard of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and he is also the boss of more than a thousand tribes, the fierce general who followed the old Hou Ye in his early years, and later he was injured, so he was arranged to return to the capital, while doing things in the Hou Mansion, he helped bring those unruly veterans to the oil.

Most of the troops of the Pingnan Hou Mansion are veterans who have retired from the battlefield, and it is normal for them to fight and make trouble, and Meng Jiao can suppress them, which shows that his prestige in the army is extremely high.

Meng Jiao bowed slightly to Li Chun and said in a deep voice: "Go back to the little marquis, it's the second master who is coming back." ”

Li Chun's body trembled slightly.

The second master in Meng Jiao's mouth is the righteous son of the old marquis Li Zhijie, the deputy general of the Pingnan Army, Li Yan, this Li Yan, followed the Pingnan Hou Li Zhijie when he was a teenager, and he only had a lot more military merits than Li Shen.

Since Li Shen took over as the Marquis of Pingnan, Li Yan has rarely returned to the capital, and usually helps deal with military affairs in southern Xinjiang......

After the last time Zhong Xiaoxiao's incident, Li Chun also knew that he had made a mistake, but Mrs. Yu had not punished him, which made him even more uneasy.

Thinking of this, Li Chun smiled reluctantly: "Uncle Meng, second uncle, he came back suddenly, is there something wrong......

Meng Jiao shook his head: "I don't know about this, I heard that I am going back to Beijing to do business......

Halfway through his sentence, Mrs. Yu looked at her sideways and said, "You talk a lot!" ”

Meng Jiao immediately stopped saying a word, and scratched his head with a smile.

A group of more than a dozen people waited for several hours in Shili Pavilion, and when it was almost afternoon, a few black spots came on the official road in the south and ran over, and after running closer, there were a few big horses, and Mrs. Yu took Li Chun to welcome out.

These people, led by a horse, sat a strong man, who looked about forty years old, wearing a single coat, at a glance was a military man, after seeing Mrs. Yu from a distance, he hurriedly jumped off the horse and said to Mrs. Yu: "I've seen Mrs. Sister-in-law." ”

A smile appeared on Mrs. Yu's face: "Second Uncle has worked hard all the way. ”

Li Chun, who was behind him, knelt on the ground respectfully, kowtowed to Li Yan and said, "My nephew has seen my uncle." ”

Li Yan glanced at Li Chun seriously, and finally shook his head and sighed, stretched out his hand to help Li Chun up, shook his head and said, "Little Hou Ye doesn't need to be so polite, get up and talk." ”

In the past two months, the huge pressure on Mrs. Yu alone, making the master mother of the Pingnan Hou Mansion a lot haggard, at this time Li Yan came back, the Li family finally had a man who could take charge, Mrs. Yu was a lot more relaxed, and said with a sigh of relief: "In the past two months, I don't know how I came over, it's good that the second uncle comes back, the second uncle is back, the Li family has a backbone that can be the master, and I won't run out of ideas." ”

Last time, the punishment of the Chengde Emperor to the Pingnan Hou Mansion was extremely heavy, and for a while, Mrs. Yu didn't know what the Son of Heaven wanted to do, and she was often trembling and trembling in the past two months, which was very difficult.

Li Yan lowered his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The matter of the capital, the eldest brother has already told me, the sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much, with the eldest brother here, you will be as stable as Mount Tai in the capital, and nothing major will happen." ”

Mrs. Yu looked left and right, and after finding that there were no outsiders, she said in a low voice: "It's not that I'm worried about my own safety, but I'm afraid that if I don't do good deeds, I will drag down the Li family, and then I will be sorry for the ancestors and ancestors." ”

Although Li Yan is also the son of the Li family, he is a moth after all, and he is not very easy to intervene in this kind of topic, so he just smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Mrs. Sister-in-law, I should always be working in the capital in the future, and I will not go back to southern Xinjiang. ”

"With the second uncle in the capital, everything is naturally fine."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Yu glanced back at Li Chun, who was following behind her, and sighed with some hatred: "This son of my family is too unsuccessful, since the second uncle wants to be an official in the capital, he has to help train and train." ”

Li Yan said indifferently: "The little marquis is indeed a little reckless, the little brother is free, and he will teach him some principles of doing things." ”

Mrs. Yu nodded and said with a smile: "The wine and food have been prepared at home, let's go home quickly and wash the dust for the second uncle." ”

Li Yan lowered his head and bowed: "There is Mrs. Lao." ”

The group re-entered the city from the south gate of the capital, and after seeing Mrs. Yu come back, those who were secretly watching disappeared.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the gate of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, Li Yan looked up at the plaque of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and sighed with emotion: "I haven't been here for a long time." ”

He was adopted by Li Zhijie since he was a child, and he also lived in Pingnanhou Mansion in the capital for a period of time when he was a child.

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "Second Uncle will live here in the future." ”

"By the way, I don't know what kind of official the court wants to give the second uncle?"

Li Yan smiled indifferently.

"If nothing else, it should be the squire of the military department."
